  • the main drawback of such approach is related to the limited stability of the final system which, when exposed to heating treatment, such as under extrusion processing in the case of thermoplastic matrices, or in presence of water or other solvents, tends to easily release the dye molecules to be decomposed.
  • a further possible approach is based on the use of pigments, as reported in W02005052069, wherein a pigment composition is realized through a substitution reaction with one or more cationic dye groups in the presence of a suspension of a zeolite pigment.
  • a pigment composition is realized through a substitution reaction with one or more cationic dye groups in the presence of a suspension of a zeolite pigment.
  • one of the negative outcomes of the use of both organic and inorganic pigments as disclosed in W02005052069 is related to the large amount of dye with respect to the zeolite amount, and the consequent high value of the dye/zeolite ratio, required to obtain the coloring purpose.
  • the present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by realizing a dye-exchanged zeolite marker prepared with a cation exchange reaction between the positive ion of the zeolite and the one of the dye organic molecule.
  • die-exchanged zeolite marker should be construed as generally known in the art, and in particular as meaning a marker or indicator based on zeolite and obtainable by cation exchange reaction between a cationic dye and a zeolite.
  • the short form “ marker” is used interchangeably with “ dye- exchanged zeolite marker”.
  • the inventors of the present invention surprisingly found that when a cation exchange reaction take place between the dye and the zeolite, the dye is more efficiently bonded to zeolites, particularly into the zeolite pores, and consequently not released or decomposed when put in contact with the solvents or high temperature conditions i.e. is more stable with respect to those know in the art.
  • the present invention refers to a dye-exchanged zeolite marker comprising a zeolite, and a dye organic molecule, said marker being obtainable via a cation exchange reaction between at least one positive ion of the zeolite and at least one positive ion of the dye organic molecule.

  • the marker of the present invention does not require a high value of the dye/zeolite ratio to obtain the coloring purpose.
  • the measure of the zeolites pores can have a critical role in the preparation of the dye-exchanged zeolite marker of the invention, at least in terms of process yield.

  • the surface area and porosity analysis were performed using a Micromeritics BET instrument. Prior to analysis, samples were preconditioned by degassing at 180°C in turbo vacuum, which allowed to remove physically bonded impurities from the analyzed material. Then the analysis was continued using CO2 for LTA (at -20°C) or Ar for other zeolites (at -186°C). The micropore surface area was calculated using the Dubinin Astakhov model, while the pore size using the Saito Foley or the NLDFT models.
  • the marker allows for an effective detection despite the rather low value of the dye/zeolite weight ratio (see samples S1-S4, Table 1).
  • a weight ratio between the dye and zeolite comprised between 0.05 %wt and 1 %wt, preferably between 0.1 %wt and 0.5%wt (extremes included) with respect to the zeolite weight

After polymer dissolution, 0.01 g of rhodamine-zeolites sample S2 was added to the polymeric solution at room temperature and the dispersion was mixed 30 min by a bath sonication at room temperature and vigorously stirred by mechanical mixing for 1 hour. The obtained formulation was spread out by means of a doctor blade with a thickness of 50 microns on a glass substrate and water evaporation was promoted at 40°C. A composite films containing l%wt of marker in polymer matrix was obtained. Reference STARCH film without marker was also prepared adopting the same experimental protocol.
  • STARCH hydroxypropylated starch ether
  • Example AC 14 (blend 2).
  • 0.7 g of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH): grade Exceval® AQ-4104 by Kuraray and 0.3 g of hydroxypropylated starch ether (STARCH): grade SOLCOAT P85 by SOLAM were dissolved in 9.0 g of distilled water at 90°C under vigorous stirring.
  • 0.01 g of rhodaminezeolites sample S2 were added to the polymeric solution at room temperature (RT) and the dispersion was mixed 30 min by a bath sonication at RT and vigorously stirred by mechanical mixing for 1 hour at RT.
  • the obtained formulation was spread out by means of a doctor blade with a thickness of 50 microns on a glass substrate and water evaporation was promoted at 50°C.
  • Reference PVOH/starch film without marker was also prepared adopting the same experimental protocol.
  • Example AC 1549 g of polyethylene low density powders ⁇ 400 micron purchased from Alfa Aesar were compounded via melt-blending with 1 g of rhodamine-zeolites (sample S2) using a Lab Two Roll Open Mixing Mill (Battaggion) for 5 minutes.
  • Reference polyethylene sheet without marker was also produced following the same experimental protocol.
  • Example AC 16 49 g of polylactic acid (grade NatureWorks 2003D) was compounded via melt-blending with 1 g of rhodamine-zeolites (sample S2) using a Lab Two Roll Open Mixing Mill (Battaggion) for 5 minutes.
  • Reference polylactic acid sheet without marker was also produced following the same experimental protocol.
  • Example AC 18 98 g of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ABS (grade Terluran® GP-22 produced by INEOS STYROLUTION) was compounded via melt-blending with 2 g of rhodaminezeolites (sample S5) using a Lab Bench Top Two-Roll Mill (LabTech Engineering) for 5 minutes.
  • the resulting compounded material containing 2%wt of marker S5 was shaped in sheets (thickness 500 pm). Reference ABS sheet without marker was produced following the same preparation protocol.
  • Solid sample holder mounted on an adjustable goniometer was used to test polymer products in form of films or plaques added with the marker.
  • Set up of the sample with a 60° angle between incident and specularly reflected beam was used, preventing the excitation beam from entering the emission slit, so avoiding interference of stray-light.
  • FluorEssenceTM analysis management software was used to acquire and process data.
  • Marker excitation and emission peaks in polymer matrices were compared with reference sample (polymer matrix without marker) and pure marker excitation and emission peaks in order to detect dye presence inside polymeric matrices.
  • reference sample polymer matrix without marker
  • pure marker excitation and emission peaks were studied as a ratio between fluorescence intensity I of active composition and the fluorescence intensity Io of the pure polymer matrix without dye, submitted to excitation at 540 nm.
  • marker presence was considered detectable when a value larger than 2 was determined for 1/ Io ratio.
  • Table 5 are reported recorded values for all tested samples.
